But still doesn’t detect my Agfa 1212USB scanner, and doesn’t have multilanguage support. I tried installing kde-2.2.2-i18n files for supporting more languages but that didn’t work.

There are some 18 localization files available via iris. (I know, I know it costs $$)

My Mustek Bearpaw scanner is not supported either unless I compile the current SANE build with a beta backend that didn’t even exist a few months ago

Is that a Agfa SnapScan 1212u scanner? You may need to edit /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf in order to get SANE to see the scanner. (Yeah, I know, you shouldn’t have to edit text files to get this stuff to work. Tell the that to the guys at Lycoris.)

Does this build include the linux-wlan-ng driver? More specifically, does it support USB based Prism2 chips?

We have the same model here, 1212U. BeOS doesn’t support it either with the SANE drivers, it is a weird model actually, as it has a SCSI to USB convertor internally.

It was one of the earlier models and it has proven a bit of a challenge to write drivers for. Even the Windows driver for example doesn’t support multiuser at all. That scanner is not supported at all by Agfa anymore really…
